Blog Award!

The rule is to state 7 things about me;(Have
chronicled enough on this here, won’t ramble on it anymore) :D

But most importantly the rule
entails to pass it on to 15 more bloggers. That is the same number of the
blogs as therein my reading list. Despite being pruned down, the list gives you a glimpse of my favourite bunch. There are more than
this that I like, but then there are many more!

Glad to know my blog comes under the chosen 15.Thanks. :) As for what purpose do such awards serve, they spread bonhomie among fellow bloggers, and also prompt those who are stuck to come out of writer's block. :D What benefits do you expect Rahul? :P

Congrats on the award, Stuti, & thank you SO much for blessing me with the honour of being in your top 15 favs! I see that I am in excellent company here :) Congratulations to everyone!

P.S. ~ I was so thrilled to see that you had finally been successful in posting a comment on my blog (4th time lucky? lol) so I'm sure you can imagine the look on my face when I saw that it was an award instead :D

DISCLAIMER : DO NOT READ THIS. And take me seriously when I warn you. Someone told me at one point of time, ‘Always indulge in what you love the most, because when in a state of crisis it is that passion that keeps you solvent’… I have been religiously practicing this philosophy for a long time now. And this philosophy has helped me in ways incredible and in ways unfathomable. The state of crisis today is that of apathy and sloth. But now has come a time when my passion, if ever there was one, is no longer alive. It no longer rekindles the flame. It no longer gives me that push to do something. To do something worthwhile (read: worthless for the rest of the world). Yeah , today words fail me and I (most miserably) fail them. (It’s entirely mutual, for a change). There is a yawning void staring at me. Not the void that would make you feel nostalgic or emotional or any of those things, but the void that will make you feel listless. Yes, listless. It’s one crazy void. And it’s not even that…

I am waiting,
For a time when stepping out in the sun amidst people,
Will not be with a mind shrouded in fear,
For a time when one will not ache and long at length,
To meet and hug those who are near and dear.
I am waiting,
For a time when despite the gentle breeze and warmth of the sun,
Getting up in the morning will not feel so sunken,
For a time when travelling the untraveled and travelling it all,
Will be without a hitch and its idea, not so forsaken.
I am waiting,
To undertake that rail travel and go back to my place,
Where love is unadulterated and care, unconditional
Where all its trails are committed to memory by rote,
And where the night echoes with its characteristic lull
I am waiting,
For a time when there is no bargain between safety and leisure,
Where the mind has its sanctuary and is not rusted,
In the hackneyed and the bickering that arise when you live too
close,
For a time when our wisdom is not so stunted.
I am waiting,
For when there is a balance between d…
